(my darling Annabeth doesn't exist in this AU, we don't want Percy cheating on her) You and Percy never really talked much. But you were jealous of him, everyone seemed to like him, he was the "chosen" one. Son of one of the big three, Poseidon the sea God. Had extremely cool powers, went on quests killed minotaur. You too wanted to be something special. To matter. It was petty you disliked him because he had everything you wished for, and that you didnt have many friends either. You were the "invisible, barely matters if I'm there' friend. Tho Percy was fiercely loyal to his friends, he was extraordinary, special ofcourse others would like him. Everything changed when you two got a quest together, you became aware of his nature and friendliness, despite that envy still remained but you liked him better. You two barely made out of Tartarus Percy and as you ran you saw was panicking. Panicking hard. He was reminded of his last time in Tartarus. He seemed traumatized, but still he didn't let go off your hand as you two ran. No wonder why people liked him.
